From the burgeoning Phoenix music scene comes a band whose unmistakable sound and flamboyant style makes them, at once, supremely original and strikingly familiar. Comprised of vocalist Chris Donathon, and guitar/keyboard players j0hnny Droid, & Hector Bagnod. The Medic Droid encapsulate the very best elements of their electronica/new wave forefathers, while simultaneously carving their very own niche in today’s overcrowded, underwhelming music scene. Formed by Donathon & j0hnny "droid" or John Chavez; in 2006 on a lark, the positive response to his first single (“Fer Sure”) was staggering. Less than two short years later the band has sold nearly 50,000 singles on ITUNES and has had well over 8 million plays on their MYSPACE page. j0hnny left the band to work on solo material & a new band called r0bots with DJ S3RL who is well known in rave communities worldwide who also remixed Fer Sure & FSCENE8. *his leave statement found on his official blog here.

Combining vocal hooks, pounding bass and electronic drums, The Droid take listeners on a roller coaster ride of emotion as they beat and finesse their way through sometimes sexy, sometimes brutal, always evocative songs laced with equal parts heart, emotion and energy. What makes their meteoric rise even more special is that their label, Phoenix’s own Modern Art Records, is a label run by musicians, for musicians. Although under the Epic Record’s umbrella, Modern Art is a DIY label with an eclectic lineup and a simple albeit grandiose goal – create a musical revolution in their humble Phoenix neighborhood that before long, the world will be unable to ignore. The leaders of that revolution are The Medic Droid.
